@Popehat I walked through a failing mall on my way to see Spice World with my future wife at a $2 movie theater and had to climb a small set of stairs by a group of teens. One of them loudly said "The GAP" as we passed them. Sick burn that still smarts. Also my wife and I were eah wearing 100% GAP clothing at the time. Our shared laughing appreciation probably sealed it. Together still.
